Re: my p64 has a light da pull since i bought it
Does it look like it saw service or unissued?

Re: my p64 has a light da pull since i bought it
It's possible that if it saw service the owner at the time had some work done on it.
Nice example.

Re: my p64 has a light da pull since i bought it
ya it sure has had the da trigger pull worked on its probably a 6 pound pull.
Re: my p64 has a light da pull since i bought it
The original trigger spring with the ultra-high 28+# pull is a thick, black wire. Newer, lighter (as in the Wolff springs, at least) are a thinner wire and more silvery in color. You can easily see the spring if you take the grips off. This might give you a clue. See what's there, I suppose anything is possible. Who knows?

Very lucky!
I assume it shoots okay. No weak hammer strike?

Re: my p64 has a light da pull since i bought it
what do you guys think of the condition of the p-64 looking at the picture?
Re: my p64 has a light da pull since i bought it
The external Bluing on the slide, near the muzzle of your p-64 is a lot better than mine. More wear on the trigger and trigger guard than mine. I just did a Wolff spring up grade on mine. the da pull is around 7 to 8 pounds (fish scale measurement), which is a bit heaver than yours. Over all, it looks like a great buy.
Re: my p64 has a light da pull since i bought it
What spring did you use?!?! The lightest Wolff hammer spring is 17# (which isn't popular as it can sometimes result in light strikes) but a 7-8 lb. pull seems WAAAAAAAY too low. 16-17 might happen but I'm ot sure how you'd get DA to 7-8 lbs. If it is the SA pull would be like 1/2 lb!!!!! Might wanna check your scale.Rancher9 wrote: I just did a Wolff spring up grade on mine. the da pull is around 7 to 8 pounds...

The hammer spring I installed is a 17#. This old fish scaleI used is not the best choice for measuring the Double Action.robhic wrote:What spring did you use?!?!

Re: my p64 has a light da pull since i bought it
I'd agree with that! The weight of the spring is generally pretty close to what your DA pull will be. I had one with a 17# spring and experienced some light strikes. Went back and changed all my P64s to the 18# to be safe. Never a problem since.Rancher9 wrote:The hammer spring I installed is a 17#.

When the guy at the range checked with their gauge for me he got about exactly 18# for the DA and around 3.5 - 4 for the SA weight. As I am not aware of a 7-8# spring being available for these guns is why I questioned your result. PLUS, the DA - SA weights are not nearly proportional, so a 7# DA pull would give a MASSIVELY UNSAFE, light SA pull somewhere in the "just breathe on it" range. That'd be a scary weapon!!!
